Luke (from left) and Max Bryant, 4- and 6-year-old sons of Hall athletic director/coach Eric Bryant, take a break from the action during the Colmone Classic. Their father frequented their grandfather’s (Eric Sr.) office Red Devil Gym when he was their age.

• Knight in shining armor: Fieldcrest’s Sanders cracked the 1,000-point plateau in the Knights’ 70-41 win over Hall. He had 21 points in that game and 22 vs. Mendota, Saturday.

• Real home cooking: When Hall coach Mike Fillippini talks about having homecourt advantage in the Colmone Classic, he’s not kidding. His mother, Joanne, added some home cooking by providing the mostaccioli to the hospitality room menu to go along with Rip’s chicken, Saturday night.

• First for Trojans: Mendota won its first Colmome Classic championship, becoming the 13th different school in the 39-year history of the event. Buda Western won the first three (1974-76) and Fieldcrest has won 11 of the last 20.
